no title.




My heart broke today,
I am alive
And can feel the howling pain.
My heart broke today,
The bloody rain from my soul,
could not ease the pain,
My heart broke today,
In an unusual way,
The way that changes things,

but they remain the same.

My heart broke today,
And all of me gave way,
In bits and pieces, like shards from a glass pane,
That can never be put back together again,

My heart broke today,
I felt nothing near fear or shame,
Only pain, torturing pain,.


My heart broke today,

But I am glad,
she fulfilled her dreams of
joy, sadness, love, laughter, anger and now pain.
